Mouse is really turning out to be a great dog. :D Really took care of Cassius/Liver Spots. CRUNCH! Go Mouse!!! :D Butters really stepped up to the plate, as well. :) Regarding Sue, well Harry doesn't do stuff halfway, does he? That was an inspired bit of magic! Damned impressive! |

I think Harry is finally going to come into his power in the next book and officially enter the "Heavy Weight Division." I pity da fool dat messes with Harry Dresden. :p Here's the link if you want to read those chapters... http://www.jim-butcher.com/books/dresden/11/ Spoiler for for Turn Coat:
Quote:
Butters is a great character... It just adds an extra layer of FUNNY since his doctor is a medical examiner. :p Spoiler for for Proven Guilty:

Re: The Dresden Files
Thanks for hiding those spoilers. I'm going through the books in order, and am just starting "Proven Guilty." Keep hoping Harry gets a proper Warden's sword, soon.

Luccio should still give it a try. While her body may now be young and, IIRC, a babe, her knowledge is still there. |
Re: The Dresden Files
In Small Favor she finally she got back into the action so hopefully he'll get it in the next book. I don't know how well he'll handle a blade though. :p

or Do you mean you don't know how he'll handle his Warden's duties, e.g. lopping off heads wizards who violate the Laws of Magic? BTW, my paperback of "Small Favor" arrived in today's mail. Surprised me, because it's 3/4" taller than all of the other Dresden Files paperbacks. MSRP is up, too, US $9.99. |

I was talking about him actually using a sword. I think he mentioned in one of the recent books that it's not his style... I could be mistaken though. I'm sure he'd use it if he got one though. Quote:

Re: The Dresden Files
Turn Coat just replaced book 4 as my favorite Dresden book. It was really, really good, and just from reading it I could get the feel that there will be many more books to come. He stil doesn't get a sword yet though... he has one on the cover but nope... NO SWORD.

Re: The Dresden Files
Well I spent how many months telling people I was waiting for this book so when it came out I took off & everybody I know had enough good sense to leave me the &^@! alone till I finished it. :p My nephew was a little annoying but I can't blame him for being a kid.
"What are you doing?" "Reading." "What are you doing?" "Reading..." "What are you doing?" "READING!" "What are you doing?" "READING!!!" "What are you doing?" "I'm READING!!!!!" "WHY?" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! :p |

The cover to Small Favor shows him holding a single action revolver too... pretty sure his 44 isn't THAT old. ;) & I don't think he's ever worn a hat... yet he's wearing one on every cover. It looks cool... but that's not how he rolls. :p Trench coat yes, staff yes, 44 occasionally. No cowboy hat though. He wore cowboy boots in a couple books though. The guy who does the cover needs to get his $hit together. :p |

Re: The Dresden Files

And I remember complaining before about how on every cover Harry Dresden is wearing a hat... which he never wears in the books. He actually says in Changes... "I don't do hats" :p |

I never used to wear hats unless it was -20degF and windy. Babylon 5 and Crusade changed that. ;) Most days, I wear my Crusade ballcap, and nobody knows what "Crusade" is (was). People have actually asked. The rest of the time I wear my "Babylon 5" ballcaps, and almost nobody knows it, either. |

Changes really was an good title for the book... everything changed. :p By the time you get to the end you're left with, "what happens next?" |

And now you have to wait A YEAR. :( |
Re: The Dresden Files
Yep... thank god for other book series I guess.
|
Re: The Dresden Files
Next book is gonna be called Ghost Story... & I found this little tid bit on wikipedia.
& I don't want to hear any crap about wikipedia, I like it, it works, not everything on there is made up or completely false. :p Quote:
|
Re: The Dresden Files
"Side Jobs" (short story collection), "Ghost Story" and 7 to 10 more novels after "Ghost Story." :D Thanks for the good news.
|
Re: The Dresden Files
I haven't read any of the books (I still have alot of reading to do... been falling behind) but I really enjoyed the show when it first aired and picked up the DVD set when it came out.
|
Re: The Dresden Files
I started reading the books because of the show... turns out the show sucked. Compared to the books at least. ;)
Dresden Files is the one books series I try to recomend to everybody... |

Re: The Dresden Files
Morgan threw me all off when I started reading the books... turned out he was supposed ot be a white guy that looked like Sean Connery. :p

Re: The Dresden Files
Side Jobs comes out on October 26th...
For those of you that don't read Dresden Files, & some of you that do... each book only covers a couple days in the life of Harry Dresden. With that said, some short stories were published inbetween books and some were just done to give you a better understanding of Harry. There's also a graphic novel called Welcome to the Jungle... Most importantly, for those of you that have just read Changes, & are like "WTF?"... Aftermath should be at the end of the book & it takes place 45 minutes after Changes ends. It's also told form Murphy's point of view. |
Re: The Dresden Files
They've changed the release date for Ghost Story... it's now July 26th instead of April. :(
